About Me

Gulnaz Mahboob

Gulnaz Fatima Mahboob is a qualified Islamic/Arabic Calligrapher (hattat), authorised to teach and classically trained by the renowned Turkish Master Calligrapher Hasan Celebi.

She teaches privately and at various insitutions, which include The Yunus Emre Institute London, The Prince's Foundation of Traditional Arts and Leighton House Museum.

In 2012 she was awarded the Ijazet in the thuluth and naskh scripts according to the Ottoman tradition. Having received her Ijazet she has become part of a continuum that is more than 10 centuries of calligraphic tradition.

Gulnaz has focused on teaching and has successfully designed and delivered courses and workshops throughout the country. Her courses are tailored to the needs of the audience and look at the inherent practices that lend themselves to promote positive qualities like clarity and stability in oneself. Her background in anthropology will offer fresh perspective on what is a dynamic bond that is established between the student, the master, the letters and the repetitive practices.
